“That man, as a religious and moral being, is radically and totally depraved;-that the bias of his nature is decidedly towards what is false in sentiment, and towards what is wrong in feeling and action; is a principle which is not only frequently stated, in the plainest terms, in the Holy Scriptures, but the admission of which is forced on us by our experience of what takes place within us, and our observation of what takes place around us.”  (John Brown  1784-1858)
